A federal jury in one of those cases on Tuesday ordered the National Association of Realtors along with some of the nation's biggest real estate brokerages to pay almost $1.8 billion in damages, after finding they artificially inflated commissions paid to real estate agents. The class-action lawsuit was filed in 2019 on behalf of 500,000 home sellers in Missouri and some border towns.

Exxon Mobil Corp on Friday posted a $9.1 billion third-quarter profit, an about 54% drop from record earnings a year ago but up from the prior quarter as oil prices recovered. Earnings at the largest U.S. oil producer have benefited from strong crude oil prices and demand for gasoline and diesel following the pandemic. Third quarter profit was $2.25 a share compared to $4.68 in the same quarter a year ago when oil and gas prices climbed following Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
